Time Out for Tea
Kdward 8. Kothern, Die Shake
Bpcareurj actor who hua participated
la thouHands of Rtage apiicarancfd,
played to hli moot exlraorillnnry audi
ence and undnr the moHt onusual
condition of hi career, during the
World wur.
Rothern engajicd In a toar of the
DrltlHh end American rext camp and
taeed hla ahowa on both the IlrttUh
and American front. Like a not,
when the mort Jramatlc moment ar
rived during a performance a udderj
cry of "Light Out," would preaaee
an air raid and the performance would
atmpend until the "All Clear" elgnal
wai heard.
At other time a bumtlng ahell near
the hut where the actor Impersonated
hi favorite bits of Hamlet or King
Lear added to the drama of the occ
lion.
Once on the Drltlah front, Sothern
had need of a philosophy oily year
of public appearances supplies.
The "Tommies" of the audience had
never heard of Rothern. They sat en
tertained while a troupe of trained
do;' were put through their paces.
Then Sothern, and tea time, arrived
simultaneously. Being accustomed to
ten through generations of hnblt, the
Tntnmli'8 walked out In a body 00
Sothern.
"There mny have been time when
! would have simply been staggered
by such a reception," the veteran
ador eommenfd afterward. "Uut up
there well, I understood.
Revenge!
An English colonel who, this yarn
must reveal, whs not too popular with
hli troops, was prowling about one
night In No Man' Land, just north of
Arms. He was seen In the light of
a star ahell sent soaring aloft from
the German lines. When the neit
shell shed It gentle light over the
disputed ground a Roche sniper In a
tree fired upon the Englishman.
The colonel rolled Into a convenient
hell hole and lay there, unharmed.
while succeeding star shells burst and
burned out Came a lull and dark
ncss and the colonel crawled back Into
tils own trenches. .
"See here." he upbraided the lleuten
ant In command. "What dye mean
by not getting that sniper In the tree
who fired at mer
"We didn't see him. sir," replied
the officer. "But he shall be taken
care of Immediately. I'll put one of
my best riflemen on the Job at once."
The appeased colonel hiked back to
his dugout while a sharpshooter was
summoned and ordered to bring dowo
the German sniper. The man took op
position at a rift In the parapet, ad
Justed his sling and waited. A star
shell soared upward from the enemy
lines and burst Its radiance revealed
the German marksman In bis tree.
When the next shell lighted up the ter
rain the Kngllsh rltleman was ready
and sent a bullet whistling true to It
mark.
As the Oermnn collapsed and hung
grotesquely from the branches of his
hiding place, the English sharpshooter
remarked :
"Take that, you . . . for missing
our colonel J"
The Gallic Temperament
Rolillcrs of the French army, as
they appeared to American eyes, were
a strange but likeable mingling of
vivacity and philosophy. The phllo
sophlcal ones, per example, were those
old fellow who, Instend of peacefully
fishing somewhere along the Seine, or
Auhe, or Alsne or some of those other
streams, were holding their part of
the line of trenches known a the
Western Front.
Their philosophy manifested Itself
most noticeably as they trudged along
mountain roads, returning to their lec
tors in the Vosges, stopping now and
then to nibble at the huge brown
bread each man carried. They would
be told to return to a sector at a cer
tain time and each soldier would wan
der In promptly, on his own. Can you
Imagine a Yank regiment doing thatt
Among the vivacious element were
the French engineers. One little Inci
dent Illustrates them perfectly. It
occurred on a shell-torn road near
Verdun. The engineers were repairing
the road. A passing truck churned np
oldler body from the mud and an
engineer, thinking the1 corpe Uoche,
Jumped upon It with both feet
"Cochonl CochonP shouted the ex
cited Frenchman.
Of a sudden, the engineer discovered
the body to be that of one or his
comrades. Ill attitude changed In
a flash nnd, dropping to his knees, he
began wiping the torn fuce clean,
murmuring soft phrases, as tender as
a woman. Work on the road was
topped by the entire detail. They
turned to with their shovels and gavo
the dead Pol 1 11 a decent burial.

Japanese Shrine Honor
Dog: That Ended Flood
A small shine atop one of the
peaks of the Japanese Alps, seldom
visited by foreigners, I the central
object In an Interesting legend of old
Japnn. The shrine Is In the shadow
of a large cypress tree, which Is
called Iniiboe-No-IIinok! or Dog
Barking Cypress tree, and Is dedl
cated to the memory of a dog whose
sacrifice I supposed to have saved
the live of the population In that
district Tradition has It that once
the two provinces of Kll and Klnkl
were visited by a terrible deluge,
which made the mountain streams
Into rushing torrent that swept all
before them and filled the valleys
with water.
The population, terror-stricken, was
forced on to higher land, but accord
ing to the story the higher they went
the higher the water followed thera.
Finally the people could go no far
ther; they had reached the top of
this peak, Tamaoklyama. Some com
mitted aulcide by Jumping Into the
water, and the others were sure that
death wa near. At this crucial mo
ment a dog climbed to the top of
cypres tree on the summit and for
three day and nights barked at the
rain and floods. On the fourth day
be Jumped Into the water and was
drowned, but the flood Immediately
receded, and the people were saved
It was In honor of this deed that the
shrine was built and the tree given
a special came. For the climber who
goea out of the way and ascends to
tfie top of Tamaoklyama there 1

Bagpipe's Defeat Strong
Friends of the bagpipe In Scotland

over the threatened movement to

that listening to It causes deafness.
Musicians have Joined tbe attack,

and barbarous. Scotch and Irish de
fenders deny all this, and add that
bagpipe music makes fine marching
and bottle music, and certainly
strikes terror into the heart of an
enemy.
